    I had this same problem trying to remember the name of Revel Rouser by Duane Eddy last weekend. Another instrumental. Tried explaining instruments, style, and did the vocalization thing like in the post (there’s a name for it, but can’t remember: anomonopea?) 5 rounds of refinement led to a bunch of cool wrong answers. Ddg found a site that I could hum the tune to, but it returned an “API Fail” error. A brief search to find song-identifying resources sent me to Google voice search, and although it was only a 19% match, (probably my lousy pitch) I was finally able to get rid of that nagging brain worm.

    Not the Kennedy Jr. kind…

      Revel Rouser by Duane Eddy

      what you wrote makes me want to hear Ravel Rouser… a mashup of Eddy’s classic track and Bolero lol

      That was a pleasant surprise. I like how they combined various disciplines, a classic orchestra, opera, choir and also the energy of it all. But it’s weird so see a man hanging from the ceiling, if you don’tknow the movie.

      You’re right, I don’t believe you. This post is 2 hr old. How could you have seen this EXACT post 3 days ago?

    The song is called “The ecstasy of gold” but the movie is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Still, that was an impressive description.

    Edit: Seems my memory failed me and it’s not the ecstasy of gold, as others have pointed out.

      Nope.

      “Ecstasy of gold” is in the same movie, but this song is called “The Good, The bad and the Ugly - Main theme”

      Ecstasy of gold is this one, Metallica played this too with the San Francisco Orchestra and it was as epic as you’d imagine:

      One we’re looking for today though is this one (the main theme):

      Doesn’t quite have that same riff, but some of the musical themes were reused in ‘The Trio’ which finished up the movie:

      Admittedly, it’s hard to find a song based on someone just writing out the sounds they think it makes and I feel like any Ennio Morricone score really should be thought of as a singular piece in harmony with the movie itself. This was one of his best, one of those movies where the dialogue could be optional, sometimes you didn’t even need to open your eyes to understand what was going on.

      Ecstasy Of Gold is from the finale where Tuco is running through the graveyard. The only vocalizations are from a soprano and a masculine choir.

          They’re both right. Ennio Morricone did the soundtracks for both films.

          I can understand your old man confusing the films. All the 1970s spaghetti western were filmed at the same locations, using the same actors, same writers and the same composer.

            Well that specific song is apparently from the 1868 one, not the 1966 one.

            Trust me my pops would not confuse the two, he was a die hard fan :D
